Seems complete, “Coffee Shop,” acrylic painting on 20” x
24” canvas. Except for touch-ups, letting it rest. I get to a point where I don’t
know where to take a painting anymore, so I acknowledge it could be completed.

Different ways to approach this one -- some things aren't immediately apparent perhaps -- the eyes need to settle on the moods, then on how the shape operates and how the roughness works that.

About Me

I've got a Ph.D. in philosophy, interpretation and culture from SUNY-Binghamton. I've also been part of or guided social justice delegations to Nicaragua, Honduras, El Salvador, Cuba, Chiapas and central Mexico and the Mideast. Much of this work is with Eileen, my creative spouse and partner..
